development center in Israel, provides technology to automate
responses to cyber attacks that it says increases productivity
and reduces costs for businesses.
Microsoft officials declined to comment. Officials at Hexadite
could not immediately be reach for comment.
Investors in Hexadite include Hewlett Packard Ventures, and
venture capital firms TenEleven and YL Ventures.
Microsoft said in January it plans to continue to invest more
than $1 billion annually on cyber security research and
development in the coming years. Israel has already benefited
from that investment.
